Rod Matching & Sorting Machines

Aftermarket Connecting Rod Weighing & Matching

Hines Rod Master

The Hines Rod Master is a computerized measuring instrument designed to automate the process of weighing, sorting, and matching connecting rods. It is configured to measure both ends of the rod simultaneously displaying crank end, pin end and total rod weight. The program displays the sorting group based on the tolerance criteria defined by the connecting rod category. Part changeover can be done in a matter of minutes. The unique tooling design allows for different rod lengths and can be changed via adjustment slides. Removable centering cones are used on both the pin and crank end for centering the workpiece.

Customer Showcase

"Prior to getting the first 2 Hines balancers, we liked the interface on our 2 competitor Y balancers but we had to recomp every 15 minutes. We found out the Hines balancers are the best of them all by far. We have purchased additional Hines balancers since them. We rarely need any service. When service has been required, Hines has taken care of us."
